Joined the Adu battle

Not long ago, according to several reporters, the Phoenix Suns have officially opened the inquiry phone number of other teams for Kevin Durant. For a time, the Timberwolves, Rockets, Spurs, Hawks and other teams were rumored to be interested in getting Durant, and even prepared a trading plan. Today, according to Suns reporter John Gambadoro, the Clippers have also joined the Durant battle. Gambadoro said: "The Clippers have high-quality chips such as Zubac, Dunn, Powell, Derek Jones, and can also provide some draft assets as compensation. I think they will be one of the dark horse teams that have won Durant."

If the Clippers really propose such a plan, it will still be very attractive to the Suns. Zubac has undergone a transformation this season. He performed well in both the regular season and the playoffs, and has shown the strength of the top five centers in the league. His arrival has solved the problem of the Suns' lack of people in the interior; Powell is a quasi-All-star scorer, and he can improve the firepower of the Suns' second team; Dunn and Derek Jones are top defensive players, and they can improve the Suns' weak defense.

For the Clippers, this transaction is high risk and high reward. Durant is about to be 37 years old. Whether he can maintain his top competitive state and sufficient attendance rate is unknown. After paying so many assets to get Adu, the Clippers will also need to improve their lineup through a large number of operations. However, if the Clippers do not make trades, it will be difficult to break through the siege in the West where strong players are everywhere. Once Adu is introduced to form the three giants, the Clippers will also have more offensive choices and confidence in the playoffs. After all, Harden and Durant had proved to be effective when they played together at the Nets. Adding a small card with both offense and defense is indeed worth looking forward to.

Hei Bei strongly supports Kaka

Today, former NBA player Patrick Beverly discussed with others on his podcast show who is the super giant in the league today. Speaking about Flag, who is about to become the new No. 1 pick, Beverly said he is expected to become a super giant in a few years, similar to white Leonard. Then, a host said, "Interrupt, Leonard is not a super giant." Then Beverly immediately retorted: "What are you talking about? Leonard has won the best defensive player twice. He has hit 50%, 40%, and 90% in the three playoffs, and has won the championship and FMVP in both eastern and western regions. Who counts if this is not a super giant?" Beverly has been teammates with Leonard for three seasons in the Clippers.

The issue of whether Leonard was super huge discussed by Heibei and his friends has also triggered discussions among many netizens. Some people said: "Leonard is a super small forward at the historical level. He has double first team, two championships, and was selected into the NBA 75 major, which is undoubtedly a super giant." Some people said: "Leonard's injury management ability is too poor, and he is reimbursed every season. No super giant in history is like this. The degree of durability is also an important criterion for testing whether it is a super giant." So what do you think about this?

Paul is expected to return

Yesterday, according to a reporter from the Clippers, the Clippers plan to introduce a trusted substitute point guard and substitute center in the offseason. Today, according to NBA reporter Ary, veteran Chris Paul is the choice that the Clippers may sign, and the two sides are interested in reaching a reunion. Recently, Paul said in an interview with reporters that he was injured in not being able to be with his family in the past six seasons, which undoubtedly increases the probability of the Clippers signing Paul. From 2011 to 2016, Paul played for the Clippers for 6 seasons, building the Clippers into an all-connected city and a very competitive team in the West.

For Paul, the Clippers are definitely a good new owner. On the one hand, he can return to his family, and on the other hand, the Clippers can give him enough ball rights and status, and have good hopes for the championship. For the Clippers, it would be worth it if they could sign Paul with the Mini Middle (split the full middle class) or even the basic salary. His experience and organizational ability will solve the problem of the lack of commander in the Clippers' second lineup. Let’s wait and see if Paul can reunite with the Clippers in the future.
